Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #7 - Y is for Your Mama!

Good Morning and happy Saturday to you all! Today starts another challenge at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! The next 2 weeks are brought to you by the letter Y, as in Your Mama! Mother's Day in the States is on May 11th, so we'd like you to make a Mother's Day card!

(Doesn't Edna look all happy and cozy, taking a bubble bath
in her boots and glass of wine at the ready?! LOL!)


Here's the card I made:


The inside of my card: 

I just love the way this card came out! That background was made by using an embossing folder and Distress Inks! Soooo easy to do! Here's the link of the video tutorial I found if you want to see how it's done. Before getting inky, I first made a frame using washi tape on the main panel. After it was dry, I pulled off the washi tape, then stamped the flowers, dragonfly and Mom in black, framed it with some pink card stock and popped that up on my card base. I also added some rhinestones under the word and on some of the flowers for a bit of sparkle. Another sentiment with one of the flower stamps finished the inside. (I know, there's no snark on this card. I just couldn't bare to snark up that gorgeous background! But the next challenge....watch out! LOL!)

So, what are you waiting for? Go make a Mother's Day card and link it up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for a chance to be crowned Queen or Princess of Snark! As always, snark is optional. Please be sure to check out what my Sisters and Shari Trumbull, our Guest Designer, created for your viewing pleasure! Now go forth and get your craft on!

    1. Sadly, I use my washi tape more for holding my dies in place before running them through the Grand Calibur. LOL!
